Favorite bolt on mod/dollar

Just curious, what's your favorite mod/dollar (from bolt ons)?

I'm not talking about tuning here. I'm pretty sure most of us here agree tuning is the best thing to do to this car.

After that, what's your favorite mod? It doesn't even have to be something with a whole lot of horsepower, just something that is relatively cheap, for the functionality it gives. Either hp/dollar, fun factor/dollar, best "feeling"/dollar, whatever...

Made this as a poll but more curious on posts

EDIT: For purposes of relevancy, please no forced induction. This is obviously the way to go, but for those of us who are modding before that, or who want to stay n/a for whatever reason, figure its best to leave that out. Also, please post on what brand/type of product you voted for!

Nope. Just the Perrin's 2" antenna. $20.00.

Also, not too big of a fan of the shark fin antenna types.

Oh, cool! That looks pretty cool. I hate the shark fin personally, I'll have to look into that.

The Perrin silicone intake was not my favorite mod (I don't have a favorite) but it was certainly the most elegant. Getting rid of that octopus of a sound generator tidied the engine bay up something awesome.

Kartboy short shifter. I've got an AFE drop in filter, Eibach pro springs, Nameless axle back, but the shifter is my favorite so far.

Perrin shifter bushing: cheap part and firmed up the feel of the shifter..

Borla UEL header: not so cheap, but for some decent digging out of the torque-dip-abyss, and bringing out the beloved boxer rumble = TEH SEX

Aftermarket head unit: I did a full system, but the radio alone can make drastic changes to your sound quality. (Price is up to you)

Stance coilovers: For being a "bargain" system, these ride A LOT better than the BC's I had on my SRT4 Neon. Thoroughly satisfied with $:Performance ratio. PS. I live in Detroit, and our roads are pretty much accepted to be the worst in the country... Lol

Tsudo exhaust: Again, a no so expensive system. Yes, there may be parts where it's obvious that something like a Perrin, at twice the price would've been better quality, but it easily fits my needs and sounds great.
